This has been going on for years. The Welfare State destroys peoples’ willingness to work. Entitlements have been untouchable since the 70s and 80s. More and more people get something from the government. The current generation is just the next logical step. Give me what I want whether I work or not. And there is this group of undeserving “rich” people out there who can pay for everything. And they should pay for everything because they don’t deserve what they got. So in these kids’ minds, Socialism is a magical system in which they can live the good life without working and have it paid for by evil people who don’t deserve what they got.
Staying on parents health care until 26 helps tie the apron strings.
